Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"The most valuable feature is the self-service, which lets users install their preferred application instead of installing all applications and filling the machine with junk."
"Thanks to Smart Groups and patch management, a lot of the work being done is via a hands-off approach."
"The self-service portal enables standard users to install and update software, change settings, and open organizational URLs."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"Some of the most valuable features for us include remote management, DEP enrollment, and zero-touch deployment."
"The solution has a very good set of features."
"The most valuable features are application deployment and task-sequenced imaging."
"It is a very well-rounded product. It is a complete package with all the features using which we are able to manage our PCs very efficiently."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"Software deployment and WSUS are most valuable."
"It saves a lot of money when you can install things automatically and they are installed the exact same way on every computer."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"Jamf needs to get an inbuilt remote support tool to allow the admin to remote into machines. At present, you can use third-party remote apps, however, a Jamf one would be better."
"There is room for improvement with Jamf Pro, especially regarding updates."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"We would love to see the ability to have settings apply to mobile devices on a time schedule. This would allow us to plan some tasks ahead of time."
"Jamf could improve versioning as in outright blocking OS upgrades OR improving maintaining every application’s update feature. As of now, only some apps, like Flash, have managed updates."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"There's no way to say, "I want this maintenance window to be on the second Tuesday of the month." It's strict. This window is this and that's it. You can't fluctuate."
"We'd like the solution to make it easier to manage remote users."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"I'm looking for a single solution for all discovery needs. It fulfills about 40% of the requirements, and I'd like to see the other 60% so that I don't have to keep doing this."
"The solution should be more compatible with different versions of Linux."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
"The solution is on-premises. The cloud version of the product, if a person needs to be on the cloud, would be InTune, which already exists as an option. SCCM doesn't need to offer cloud features for this reason."
"The tool's deployment can be cumbersome."
